| Titre | Global Cybersecurity Concerns in 2018 |
| Texte |
People around the world are becoming increasingly connected with smart devices. Sending and receiving massive amounts of data back and forth, we rely on the transfer and storage of data on a daily basis. Hackers and cyber attackers know this and know how steal data for their profit. Your job as an information security specialist is to defend your company’s data, implementing preventative and protective measures and monitoring your data and systems.
With the increasing amount of data businesses and its customers are producing comes an increasing number of people maliciously trying to obtain it. In 2017, we saw increases in ransomware attacks, financial fraud and massive data breaches. It was a busy year for security practitioners, and 2018 will be no different, with new global regulations, redesigned threats to new devices, and ways to combat those threats.
Let’s take look at some cybersecurity issues every InfoSec specialist should be aware of in the coming months of 2018.
Upcoming Requirements of the GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation is the European Union’s way of protecting its citizens’ data by holding organizations and companies accountable in practices of security personnel in regards to sensitive information. As of May 25, 2018, companies will risk severe fines if they are not in compliance with the GDPR data protection rules. In an effort to minimize the damage done during recent data breaches, rules will be implemented on how you and your company obtain and secure data, as well as notifying users of the breach immediately.
Under the GDPR, companies will rely on their IT security specialists to:
Be given explicit consent when obtaining customer data.
Be clear and upfront with customers in how they’ll obtain this data in language that is accessible and easy to understand.
Comply with data protection officers who will inventory data in the EU, including outside company data that pertains to goods and services held within the EU.
In the event of a breach, notify the public within 72 hours or be penalized.
The EU isn’t the only geography implementing privacy measures for its citizens. Australia implemented privacy regulations recently as well.
The Liabilities of IoT
In a day and age where humans are increasingly integrating the internet into their day-to-day lives, we have no choice but to submerge ourselves in the internet of things (IoT). This includes the business world as well. Mobile devices have become a necessity and a network of connected smartphones, tablets and other smart devices has made it considerably easier for businesses to access information from the internet and communicate. It also has made it considerably easier for hackers to get their hands on the same information — which is, in turn, making it harder and harder on the InfoSec practitioner.
For usability purposes, nearly everything can be connected to Wi-Fi. A company’s smart coffee pot can be connected to an iPhone for a convenient cu |
